Happy 4th of July everyone! No fireworks here today...
We had a whirlwind of a tour in Holland once my parents arrived in Rotterdam last Friday. We headed to Delft on Saturday--one of the most darling cities in all of Holland and only a 12-minute train ride away. The story-book town is the home of the famous painter Johannes Vermeer ('Milkmaid,' 'The Girl with the Pearl Earring'), the original site for the production of 'Delftware' porcelain and its famous color Delft blue, and also the the burial site of H.R.H. William of Orange, circa 1500s. A gorgeous old city with classic canals, arched bridges, gabled houses, and a lovely main square.
